Li Mingxi sighed when he saw how nervous they were.
"Grandma, what are you thinking about? To be honest with you, that person from last night, we didn't even know each other before."
When she heard that the two didn't know each other, Niu Cuihua immediately raised her voice.
"You don't know him? Why did you let him follow you into our house if you didn't know him?"
In just a short while, Niu Cuihua's face turned red with anger. Seeing this, Li Mingxi hurried to persuade her.
"Grandma, don't be anxious. Listen to me. That man yesterday followed me. He was following orders from above!"
Niu Cuihua still didn't understand what her granddaughter said, so she asked directly, "What's going on? Why is she following you? Did you cause trouble outside?"
Zhang Huilan and Old Man Li also looked at Li Mingxi nervously, fearing that she had really gotten into trouble outside.
Seeing the worried expressions of his family members, Li Mingxi finally had no choice but to tell them everything.
After hearing everything, Niu Cuihua began to ask.
"So you mean to say that Si Mao is also lost?"
Li Mingxi nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Grandma, you understand now, right? I have to hurry to the county town and look for someone to see if there's any way to find Brother Simao!"
"No, since someone is following you, will something happen if you go alone?"
Niu Cuihua was worried because her grandson was missing, but Simao was a grown man, and nothing would happen to him even if he was locked up!
But it’s different for the little granddaughter. She’s a grown-up girl. If something really happens to her, she won’t have anywhere to cry!
Thinking of this, she began to make a suggestion.
"Xiao Xi, I think you should let your grandfather go with you. You can go directly to your second uncle, and then ask him to send someone to look for him!"
When Li Mingxi heard her grandmother's suggestion, she was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly. From the beginning to the end, this was just a small matter between Old Man Wang and his family, and there was no need to involve her second uncle!
If my second uncle knew about this, who knows what would happen!
Therefore, she refused directly.
"No, grandma, look, this is just a small matter. If you trouble Second Uncle, who knows what will happen then?"
"What if, at that time, Brother Simao gets beaten up by Second Uncle because of me? How am I going to explain to Brother Simao then?"
Niu Cuihua hesitated, "If I don't look for your second uncle, who else has the ability to go find someone?"
Glancing at Li Mingxi, as if guessing what she was thinking, she said coldly, "I'm telling you, don't even think about saving people on your own!"
Seeing that his grandmother was suspicious of him, Li Mingxi quickly spoke out to defend himself, "Grandma, what are you thinking? That's the next county, how can I get there by myself? Besides, even if I want to go, I don't have the ability!
Seeing that her granddaughter said she wouldn't go secretly, Niu Cuihua felt relieved. "It's good that you know. Just listen to me and let your grandfather go with you. Go directly to your second uncle and let him find a solution. He is no better than a child like you. Besides, we can't do anything better than your second uncle!"
Old Man Li also agreed. "That's right, Xiaoxi, listen to your grandma. You are young and don't understand these things!"
Seeing them like this, Li Mingxi knew that it was useless to explain further.
This matter must not be asked of Second Uncle. Besides, isn’t there Leng Feng?
Li Mingxi didn't believe that he was not in a hurry to find Leng Zhao. After he told him the news, this man was not in a hurry!
As long as he sends someone, all problems will be solved!
So she said, "Grandma, don't worry about it, I know what to do!"
"There are people who are more anxious to find someone than us right now. Didn't I just say that there's a guy named Leng Feng who's anxious to find Brother Simao? Second Uncle doesn't need us for this matter at all. Besides, Second Uncle is so busy all day long, we can't let him worry about this anymore!"
Niu Cuihua asked doubtfully, "Is that person reliable?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely reliable!"
Seeing Li Mingxi's confident look, even if Niu Cuihua didn't believe it, she could only let her do as she pleased.
"Okay, let's do as you say!"
Then, I remembered the young man who followed my granddaughter yesterday.
Niu Cuihua's face turned cold again. "If I had known that the young man yesterday was following you, I shouldn't have let him into our house for dinner. It was such a waste!"
Seeing her grandmother's angry look, Li Mingxi smiled helplessly.
"Okay, grandma, don't be angry. It's just a small thing. There's nothing to be angry about!"
"Besides, that guy isn't a bad person. Now that everything is fine, I'll leave!"
Niu Cuihua naturally didn't want Li Mingxi to go to the county town alone. He was followed when he came back yesterday. What if something happened again when he went to the county town today?
Niu Cuihua really didn't dare to even think about that result.
Therefore, she said directly, "Xiao Xi, listen to grandma and let your grandfather go with you. Who knows who those people are? They may be secretly following you. What will you do if something happens?"
Although she and Leng Feng had only met twice, Li Mingxi was certain that this man would never let anyone do anything harmful to the world!
"No need, grandma, even if someone follows me, nothing will happen!"
As she spoke, she had already mounted her bicycle, stepped hard, and ran away!
Seeing this, Niu Cuihua was about to chase after him, "Hey, kid, why did you run away? Come back quickly!"
Unfortunately, she was old and her legs were not very good. After running two steps, she found that she could not keep up and could only stand where she was.
Looking at Li Mingxi's figure, he complained to Old Man Li.
"You old man, why didn't you follow me just now? You asked me, an old woman, to follow him. Now he's gone far away. What should I do?"
"If anything goes wrong, I'll never let you go!"
While talking, Niu Cuihua pinched Old Man Li.
Feeling the strength on his arm, Old Man Li frowned.
"It hurts, stop pinching!"
Niu Cuihua loosened her grip and snorted coldly.
Glancing at the road in the distance, Old Man Li comforted Niu Cuihua, "Alright, alright. Don't you see Xiaoxi has already made up her mind? Why would I follow her? Besides delaying her, I can't help her at all!"
Niu Cuihua snorted, "That won't work. She's a grown woman, what would she do if she got bullied?"
"Okay, look at Xiaoxi. Can she be bullied?"
Zhang Huilan spoke up at the right time, "Mom, didn't Xiaoxi just say it? It's her idea, so just let her do it. If it doesn't work out, we can find another way!"
Old Man Li patted Niu Cuihua's arm in agreement and said, "That's right, old woman, Huilan is right. Besides, the child is grown up, we have to learn to let go. We can't do everything for him. Do we think we can stay with her forever?"
"From now on, she will have to face these things on her own, right?"
